Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 We must become adept at adapting to the changes that are happening around us. The impact of technology on work can be alarming, but we have already begun to adapt.

#2 The Fourth Industrial Revolution is coming, and it will be marked by the merging of biological and cyber systems into a fully digitized economy. Any physical or mental task with a predictable, repeatable outcome will be handled by an algorithm.

#3 The impact of Moore's Law is difficult to imagine, but consider this: the smartphone you no doubt carry everywhere has 100,000 times more computing power than was aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft that carried astronauts to the moon.

#4 Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer system to execute well-defined cognitive tasks. Today, artificial intelligence is used to describe computer systems that are able to take on the cognitive tasks that were once exclusively the domain of humans.
